Seattle made the decisions on Wednesday. Bedard was due $8 million, Branyan $5 million and Lopez $4.5 million had the options been picked up. Instead, Seattle will now pay a $250,000 buyout on Bedard and $500,000 on Branyan, making each a free agent.

Lopez is eligible for salary arbitration.

Bedard could never stay healthy following his trade from Baltimore before the 2008 season. He hasn't pitched since the middle of the 2009 season and started just 30 games in his three seasons with Seattle.
